All records are graded to the Record Collector Guidelines, with extra information added as required when play tested. Also all photos above are of the exact record you will receive if successful.
These records are in excellent condition. There are a few(4 or 5 max) spindle marks on each label but no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are in great shape with just the minor spindle marks to report.
As for the vinyl itself, all four sides are very clean overall, have a vivid gloss and have nothing at all serious visible in normal light. I can see one light scratch on side 2 and also the odd incredibly thin light hairlines visible on all sides when angled but nothing remotely sinister. These light signs of use show under bright light but there are not loads and on the whole all four sides are clean and free of anything remotely nasty. Overall the records have no nasty scuffs, serious marks or blemishes and are in great shape with a vivid lustre.
I play tested both the records and they played really well and produced superb audio throughout. They both lay flat with little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced is crisp, dynamic and really clear with virtually no surface noise or interference. I heard a minor amount of surface noise in the run in and occasionally between some tracks but the audio itself was fantastic. I heard one single pop on side 2 but there were of course no skips, sticks or clicks. Overall it was an absolute pleasure to play test and both records produced audio of very high quality.
The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has some wear to the edges and corners(pics) but the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. The worst of this wear is on the top edges where there is 'nibbling' evident in places. These edges are still strong however, as are all the others. There are no splits anywhere and no tears, scuffs or pen marks. It does have some bending and creasing to the front bottom right/rear left corners however and some minor indentations in places. There is also a faint sticker removal mark on the front in the top left corner but this is only visible when angled. The rear has a part ring mark or partial fading showing but is still excellent overall. Inside the gatefold is clean and bright with only minor creasing around the corners as mentioned previously. Overall a clean, strong sleeve with no really major issues but some edge wear/nibbling and the slight bending to the corners as mentioned. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.
It contains its two original lyric inners which are in a similar very good+ condition. Neither has tears or pen marks but both have faint ring marks. One is solid all round and has minimal creasing. The other has wear to the edges and is weakening on the bottom edge. This one also has more creasing evident. Overall they are both decent with the wear on the bottom edge of one the main issue. I will send the record in plain white replacements to ensure no damage occurs during transit.
Also included is its original poster which is in excellent+ condition with no tears and only minor light creasing.
It also has its t-shirt promo insert. This has no tears but does have a crease or fold down the middle.
The record will be packaged in cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched. It will also be sent in a brand new protective plastic sleeve, and within 24hrs of receiving payment to ensure swift delivery.
I hope my photos are comprehensive enough but if you have any questions then don't hesitate to contact me. Also please check my Ebay feedback for a positive history of record grading, A1 communication and quick delivery times.
All offers are considered and are more than welcome.
Many thanks for looking.
